University of Oxford Botanic Garden

Fodor's Review:

Founded in 1621 as a physic (healing) garden, this is the oldest of its kind in the British Isles. The compact but diverse garden displays 7,000 species from lilies to palms in greenhouses, a small walled garden, and special gardens (such as rock and bog gardens) outside the walled area.

  • Cost: Free
  • Open: Mar., Apr., and Oct., daily 9-5; May-Sept., daily 9-6; Nov.-Feb., daily 9-4:30
